.....The Lockdown has started. Large enterprises will stabilize their systems by freezing new development for some number of months prior to the rollover. This means no new systems, no major modifications, no hardware purchases, no software purchases.
The plan varies by company but July 1999, a 6 month freeze, and October 1999, a 3 month freeze, have been mentioned.
If you sell volumes of PeeCee's or large quantities of software, you may be affected. If you invest in such companies or work for them, or are a major trading partner, you may be affected by the Lockdown...

Here's the problem. The prosperity of the last 20 years was driven by automation, software, laser communications, technology. Everyone likes to think that their own specialty is responsible for the success. While all helped, it was software and micro electronics that drove the prosperity. In 200 days, a killing event will strike at the technology. The event will undo some percentage of the efficiency that gives us prosperity. It can't be stopped, you cannot negotiate with it. It will happen and we will all experience the consequences.
It's like kicking at an ant hill, knocking down a beehive. Something will happen, don't be in the way, don't be far from home. Know where your loved ones are. Keep them close, have a plan. You have less than 200 days to erect contingencies.....
